I realized im not stopping there so figured id make a build post for shtz n gigs.

More mods as it goes. But thats what i got for now. Ill have plenty of pics.
Please comment! Love to hear critisisim, advice, and of course pats on the back. Also is anyone has spare parts for the build let me know. Always looking for upgrades.

Mon, 05 Mar 2018 16:48:11 GMTI don't have plans to keep moving forward with this in the near future but wanted to share this info for anyone wanting to do this. You will see what needs to be done to make it happen. Using spark engine and had plenty of room for turbo behind it. This is a 1995 X4 hull that came with the 720 engine so it has 4 mounts total - 2 on each side, unlike the 787 engine where it had 2 in rear, 1 up front. My goal was to see if I could make a bolt up kit requiring no hull cuts/fiberglass work. I unbolted the XP motor mounts because they are at an angle and then took some HX motor mount bases that are angled.... that gave me a flat surface that was also as low as possible and then I put aluminum flatbar over that for the mounting surface for the spark mounts. Once I set the spark motor in as low as it could get, the centerline was still off - motor too high. This is where I stopped and then jumped onto the turbo spark HX.

The solution would be to fabricate some motor mount arms coming off the spark motor that places the engine in a lower position - still had plenty of clearance under the engine, just couldn't drop it down any further due to the stock spark arm mounts. That would be a straight bolt up kit - or you could just make some hull cuts and fiberglass the aluminum flatbar at a lower position. The nice thing about the conversion is that the XP driveshaft has the same splines as the spark PTO. Could run spark motor NA or have plenty of room behind for a small turbo. After looking at spark pump shoe/pump and the ibr width, I think the spark pump and IBR could be adapted to the X4 hull fairly easily. Many options depending on what the user wanted to do. Anyways, just posting the info with pics for anyone curious of the swap. I figured this could save someone some time and R&D.

And before anyone says why would you want to put a 90hp heavy 4stroke in place of a 110hp stock 2stroke?? Because turbo, that's why. Could have 220+ hp with a turbo spark setup. Some people have also told me that they just really prefer the x4 hull but would like modern running gear and stay NA. Anyways, here's the pics

And the single trailer the blaster is on, well we thought of building a second bunk above it that swings down. But I worry about the center of gravity being too high. Plus you know complexity.

Anyway my father has recently finished building a trailer for the family ski boat (and refurbished a second it sat on while he built it)

He managed to get an a frame and axles/suspension. So were now looking at building a trailer.

Is there any ideas anyones seen that they have thought would be a great addition. Or things they wish they had.

Scratch building a trailer may as well make it tailored to our needs and wants.

Sun, 14 Jan 2018 20:35:57 GMTAll right guys its finally time to start a thread. i've been hijacking RideH2O's thread way too many times posting about my build.
I havent started one earlier because i was trying to hide this build from my riding buddies out here until it was mostly complete.

So for starters i was sick of only getting an hour or less to ride my sxr per tank of fuel. I like to ride for much much longer than that per day. and i'm not unfamiliar with swaps (i had an 1100sx last season, but thats a whole other thread)

as far as i know this is the only TOTALLY STOCK hull with this setup inside. 1/14/2018 i know of two in Australia with aftermarket hulls and of one in progress in Arizona Rideh2O's maching (which is totally sick) and i know of at least one more in chicago area that is being built.

As of right now, the motor is mounted solid, exhaust manifold adapter is made which puts exhaust exit out the front for a front mount turbo and I set the turbo in the hull to get an idea of what turbo piping I will need to order. I'm on the tail end of a turbo waveblaster build and I can't wait to see the results from each - 2860 turbo vs tiny K03. The K03 is just a hair bigger than the stock turbo that comes on the Canam Maverick and is good to about 225ish hp so it should come on pretty instantly. This ski will be raced in Sport GP once finished. May have a little lull in progress while I order piping and wait for it to come in
